<blockquote><div class="name-said">tnation;684706 said:</div><hr>Don't be short sighted. Holt was castoff as a well paid DC, not as a DL coach. Lots of motivation on his end to kick UW in the teeth. Plus, he is young enough to relate to the kids and coached up more than one 1st Round pick at SUC.<br /><br />Norv Turner is an average HC but a great OC. When he gets fired by the Chargers, would you turn him away as an OC? Same is true for Holt. Avg DC but a great DL coach.<hr></blockquote><br />Ok. Good points. But please explain the pitch to recruits for me?

<blockquote><div class="name-said">NYCGOBEARS;684696 said:</div><hr>UW hires away our coaches then we hire their castoff? Explain that one to me and our recruits?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Holt was great at SC. Their defense went way downhill after he left.<br /><br />Their offense, however, don't skip a beat after Sark left.

His personality and passion for football are great attributes for selling a program that has new facilities, great weather, a top notch education and the greatest city in the world just across the BAY. The place sells itself. Not to mention... both of Tosh's 1st Round Picks... Alualu and Cam were already with the program for 3-4 years before he became their coach. Holt on the other hand, molded raw/high ceiling prospects from frosh to 1st round picks. Which tells me that he is a proven technical teacher

I know that I'm being simplistic but that is the first thing that enters my mind. It's never easy selling when the first thing that you have to do is to overcome objections.

I have a company that can do it for a reasonable rate. Only one way to know for sure. Split the bill with me and consider it done.

Nick Holt recruited and molded Armond Armstead. If Holt could pull Gus and Arik to Cal would you be opposed?

Lol. Thanks tnation for the offer but rather than taking a poll for a hypothetical hire, I'd rather tussle with you on this board.
